RSM James Reynolds

A query has been received from Frank Reynolds, presently serving in the Middle East on a Peace Keeping role, regarding his Grandfather, RSM James Reynolds.

It is believed that RSM Reynolds spent some time as a Training Instructor.

The only other info that we currently have is that RSM Reynolds was a member of the Commando Association.

Hi Nick

Does the grandson know what Regiment he served in before the Commandos? There are several on the records, but one possible who joined the Commando Association was shown as a CSM in 11 Commando. He was formerly in the Highland Light Infantry. What happened to him after 11 Commando is not known? Can you see if the grandson can provide any further information at all to confirm whether or not this could be him. Also is his grandfather still alive? If not is there a widow?

Pete,
Thanks for the reply.
It's a wee bit difficult getting info from Frank at the moment - him being on duty overseas - however I have been pressing for more info.
i have established that the grandfather's CA badge number was 4959.

Frank thought his GF was in the Highland Fusiliers and that he finished his service in Glasgow in Murry Hill or Muir Hill Barracks - he wasn't sure.

I think you're probably right that GF was CSM Jack Reynolds and that he was in Highland Light Infantry and that ties in with Mary Hill Barracks in Glasgow.

Great stuff...

Nick

Pete,
Frank has confirmed that his GF was in HLI and that the barracks was Mary Hill.

Thanks,

Nick
